Electrical impedance has shown itself to be useful in measuring the properties and characteristics of agri-food products: fruit quality, moisture content, the germination capacity in seeds or the frost-resistance of fruit. In the case of olives, it has been used to determine fat content and optimal harvest time. In this paper, a system based on...

This study focuses on characterizing the temporal evolution of the surface affected by industrial treatment with NaOH within the processing tanks during the lye treatment stage of Manzanilla table olives. The lye treatment process is affected by multiple variables, such as ambient temperature, the initial temperature of the olives before lye...

La presente invención tiene por objeto un procedimiento para la determinación cuantitativa del porcentaje de cocido de muestras de aceitunas que están siendo tratadas en sosa cáustica, y predice el momento óptimo de finalización del mismo. Hace uso de ace

La presente invención tiene por objeto un procedimiento para la separación de frutos con hueso de aquellos a los que les ha sido extraído, basándose en la diferencia de temperatura que alcanzan los frutos al ser calentados durante el mismo tiempo, si dicho hueso está presente o no, entero o parcialmente. Tras un análisis por visión artificial...

The study of electrical impedance applied to food has become a method with great potential for use in the food industry, which allows the monitoring and control of quality processes in a safe and non-invasive way. Recent research has shown that this technique can be an alternative method to determine the floral origin of the honey bee (Apis...

Sistema de evaporación forzada de residuos líquidos con nebulizadores vibro-dinámicos y empleando como fuente de energía un motor Stirling. Consta de una cámara (1) donde se aplica el aire seco y caliente y tiene lugar la evaporación y de un ventilador (2

In this manuscript, there were performed simulations of the evolution of the surface temperature for each of the two hemispheres of Iapetus. This icy moon of Saturn shows the most differentiated albedo dichotomy of the Solar System. The dark leading side has a lower albedo than the bright trailing side. Spectral data on the visible light reveal...

Hydrometeorological data sets are usually incomplete due to different reasons (malfunctioning sensors, collected data storage problems, etc.). Missing data do not only affect the resulting decision-making process, but also the choice of a particular analysis method. Given the increase of extreme events due to climate change, it is necessary to...

Numerous drylands worldwide have experienced degradation of both soil and vegetation in proximity to watering areas. Degradation can be observed in satellite imagery as fading radial brightness belts extending away from the water sources. The main objective of this study was to examine the spatio-temporal patterns of land degradation and...

Olive pitting, slicing and stuffing machines (DRR in Spanish) are characterized by the fact that their optimal functioning is based on appropriate adjustments. Traditional systems are not completely reliable because their minimum error rate is 1–2%, which can result in fruit loss, since the pitting process is not infallible, and food safety...
